"In any case, it's a good thing you were able to take action."
"The Cursed Spirit this time was very troublesome. We were fortunate to have your strength."
"As for the payment, the remaining balance has already been transferred to your card. Please check for it."
Several men in suits and leather shoes offered their compliments.
The young girl, surrounded by the group, looked completely indifferent. Only when she heard about the payment did her eyes light up, and a hint of a spirited expression appeared on her face.
The group walked and talked.
When they got outside, they came face to face with two men in old-fashioned clothing.
One tall, one short.
The taller one was nearly two meters tall, with a well-proportioned appearance, short dark red hair, and thick, coarse eyebrows that flared upwards like flames.
The shorter man was also estimated to be 1.8 meters tall, with short, slightly curly black hair. Despite having a rounded nose, his features were still handsome and delicate.
Naturally, these were Kenma and Shisui, who had just arrived.
Seeing Kenma and the other man in front of them, the men began to whisper among themselves.
"Are they ordinary people who got caught up in this?"
"They don't look like Jujutsu Sorcerers…"
"Miss Mei Mei, everyone, please be careful."
When the group approached, they saw that the two men did not move aside but continued to block their path, and their expressions became solemn.
It seemed they were intentionally blocking them.
The young girl called Mei Mei narrowed her eyes, warily watching the two men before her.
"You two, is there a reason you are blocking our way?"
Although she couldn't sense any Cursed Energy from the two men in front of her, they gave her a heart-pounding sensation.
It was even stronger than the feeling she got from that boy from the Gojo family.
These two were by no means ordinary people.
"I heard them say your name is Mei Mei, is that right?"
Kenma glanced at the people he had stopped, his gaze finally settling on the young girl at the front.
Kenma had heard their conversation clearly just now.
Curses, Cursed Spirits, a girl named Mei Mei, modern society, plus the black curtain-like barrier that had just disappeared…
All these elements combined were enough for him to realize what kind of world he had traveled to.
'That flying insect I saw just now must be a so-called Cursed Spirit.'
But just in case, he would observe a little more.
"That's right. And who might you two be? Are you looking for me specifically, or is this a chance encounter?"
Mei Mei stretched out her hand to shield the men behind her, a light smile on her face.
But from Kenma's observation, the girl's muscles had tensed up in an instant, and the smile on her face was very fake, completely unable to hide the nervousness in her heart.
He tried to make his own expression look as gentle as possible.
"Young lady, relax. Don't be so tense."
"Our meeting you here is purely a coincidence. We have no malicious intent, just a few questions we'd like to ask you."
The deep voice sounded, but it made the smile on Mei Mei's face even more rigid, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"I wonder what questions you would like to ask a weak woman like myself. I will certainly tell you everything I know."
Kenma looked around and said, "There will be quite a few questions, and this isn't the place to chat. I passed a coffee shop on my way here. How about we go there to talk in detail?"
"Of course."
Mei Mei agreed, her hand gesturing behind her back towards the other men.
"Can you let these people leave? They're of no use to you anyway, are they?"
Kenma nodded and started walking back in the direction he had come from.
Mei Mei sighed and waved her hand at the men behind her. "As I just said, it's useless for you to stay here. You should go."
"By the way, I just saw that the dessert shop Gojo-kun likes is closed. Remember to let him know for me."
A few crows landed on the nearby eaves and utility poles, their calls sounding out from time to time.
Seeing the men nod with calm expressions, Mei Mei made up her mind and strode off, following the tall man in front.
Her peripheral vision, however, glanced at the round-nosed man following behind her.
'One in front and one behind, they've got me cornered…'
Kenma slowed his pace and, when the girl caught up, suddenly asked, "Mei Mei, is it alright if I call you that?"
Without waiting for Mei Mei's reply, Kenma continued, "Mei Mei, the Gojo-kun you mentioned just now, are you referring to the Gojo family, one of the three great families of the Jujutsu world?"
Mei Mei's face showed surprise. "Sir, are you also from the Jujutsu world?"
"No, I've just learned about it from some places," Kenma waved his hand and asked, "The three great families, which three are they?"
Mei Mei replied, "Besides the Gojo family I just mentioned, there are also the Zen'in family and the Kamo family."
Kenma asked again, "Then the Gojo-kun you mentioned just now, is that the genius who has appeared in recent years, Gojo Satoru?"
"It is."
Mei Mei nodded, but her heart couldn't help but sink.
'He knows so much, and yet he says he's not from the Jujutsu world?'
'Does that mean the man in front of me understood the signal in what I said to those assistant supervisors just now?'
And Kenma's next words plunged her into an icy abyss.
"Gojo Satoru, eh? Good, I'll get to meet him."
"Mei Mei, when do you predict he will arrive?"
Mei Mei's body stiffened, and her heart pounded wildly.
Fortunately, her control over her expression was passable, and she didn't let herself look too flustered.
"Sir, you already know."
Mei Mei's words just now had been so obvious, Kenma didn't even need to think to figure it out.
But this brief contact had also allowed him to completely confirm his suspicions!
He had indeed arrived in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
In this world, people's negative emotions gave rise to all sorts of Curses, and the Jujutsu Sorcerers who exorcised them.
Kenma had naturally read this manga in his previous life. Although some parts were quite controversial, it had made it quite popular.
And the "Gojo Satoru" mentioned in their conversation was a top-tier powerhouse in this world, hailed as the strongest of the modern era.
Arriving in a familiar world was undoubtedly good news for Kenma.
Based on the power levels of this world, there was currently no one who could pose a threat to him.
Even the great boss hailed as the strongest in a thousand years, whose ultimate technique was a slash that could sever space itself, was not an opponent Kenma couldn't handle with a single-handed blow.
The difficulty level was easy.
He just needed hands.
Shisui followed behind the two, hearing their conversation clearly.
'Lord Kenma seems very familiar with this world…'
'It seems he has been here before.'
Although a trace of doubt arose in his heart, he still maintained a serious, expressionless demeanor.
"We're here."
The three of them entered the coffee shop, which was not very crowded at the moment.
Kenma chose a seat by the window and gestured to Shisui and Mei Mei.
"You two sit as well."
After Mei Mei sat down, she observed the interaction between the two men before her. It was clear that there was a hierarchy between them.
The one with the decisive status was the thick-eyebrowed man in front of her.
She asked tentatively, "We've talked so much, but I still don't know your names. If it's alright, could you tell me?"
After a pause, she added.
"Of course, if you'd rather not say, you don't have to tell me."
"If it's just a name, there's no harm in telling you, especially since you've given me so much information."
Kenma took a light sip of the coffee the waiter had brought and raised an eyebrow.
"The coffee is really quite good."
Shisui quickly chimed in, "Yes, I will bring some back when we return."
Kenma nodded lightly, then turned to Mei Mei and introduced himself, "My name is Kenma."
He then pointed to Shisui, "His name is Shisui."
Under Mei Mei's rather astonished gaze, Kenma said softly, "Although it might sound strange, the two of us are not human. We are Shinigami."
"We've come to the world of the living this time to find some usable souls and bring them back."
